What’s the weather like in Barcelona the rest of the year
We’ve collected the weather data for Barcelona during all other months of the year too:

Where does this data come from
Weather data for Barcelona was collected from the MERRA-2 project from NASA, which used a climate model combined with historical data from weather stations around the world to estimate what the conditions were like for every point on the Earth.
For all data based on historical data, we’ve averaged the data from the past 11 years (2010-2020). For example, for the hourly temperature at 10am, we’ve looked at the temperature at 10am on every day in October (e.g., October 1, October 2, etc. in 2010, 2011, etc.) and took the arithmetic mean. We did not smooth the data, so for example, our daily temperature line will have some randomness due to the fact that weather is random in the first place.

Rightfully named the ‘cosmopolitan’ capital of Northeastern Spain, Barcelona is a city for everybody – sports fanatics, food lovers, art & architecture enthusiasts – there’s something that will pique all interests here! While there is no right time to visit, October is considered ideal courtesy of great weather, a slew of festivals, and fewer tourists.
Read on to discover the best things to do in Barcelona in October.
Is October a Good Time to Visit Barcelona?
September is not only the best month to enjoy late summer vibes in Barcelona, it is also off-season, so no annoying touristy crowds! Plus, several lesser-known but cool festivals take place during this month.
